Overview
The Expobar Brewtus II arrived well packed in a very sturdy cardboard box that has a little
space for accessories to be added. Nice to see the use of shaped polystyrene as a packing
material and this machine is unlikely to get damaged in transit.
Externally the machine is well finished, uses high quality components and has a solid and
quality feel. The warmer tray is reasonably well sized but not as large as a Vivi, the machine
is quite tall, there is sufficient clearance under normal height kitchen wall cupboards (non-
standard height cupboards would almost certainly cause a problem) and when under
standard height cupboards, there is not much clearance to place items on the cup warmer
tray. The Expobar Brewtus II has a few rattles from the drip tray and cup tray area, but these
are easily remedied and the vibe pump is reasonably quiet when operating, certainly it is not
obtrusive.
The drip tray is very large and in complete contrast to some machines is properly finished at
the front. The lower part curves to follow the bodywork underneath and has an extra front
plate to clean up any exposed edges, very similar to the Zaffiro. The drip tray has been cold
formed and although this leaves it thinner than a steel plate welded drip tray, it gives it a much
neater look inside with rounded corners which makes cleaning much easier. It is also not too
heavy when full of water, important when it can hold nearly 2.5 litres.
As with some other machines the portafilter basket comes assembled and the spouts in the
right place. The standard equipment is a double portafilter (2 spouts) and a single and double
basket plus a rubber disk to insert when backflushing.
The boilers are a good size at 1.5 litres each and because it is a twin boiler machine (one for
steam and hot water, the other for Brew water) there is no problem with steaming, brew water
stability, or brewing and steaming at the same time. 1200w heating elements are more than
sufficient to maintain temperatures and give fast recovery times. It is a very strong steamer
and the single hole steam tip works very well, the recovery time after drawing water for an
americano is fast and of course has no real impact on brew water temperature.
Some of the things I loved were:
The simple lever on the bottom of the case that operated a valve which meant you
could switch from the internal tank to mains water operation. Just a fabulous idea that
would come into its own if you needed to descale a machine that is plumbed into the
mains water supply.
The water and steam wands are well placed, mounted on ball joints and the knobs
are a really nice size.
The digital temperature controller was great (it comes from a refrigeration application,
but is a very neat size), the look of it suits the machine and it functions impeccably.
Just how well it was put together on the inside, the Spanish have certainly done a
nice job on this machine, with a lot of attention to detail and a very clever and well
thought through design.
As always, there are a few minor changes that I would like to see, even for this machine
(which I love), but no quality issues. The changes are mostly design related so may be
difficult to resolve.

Servicing this machine will be easy as all components are quite accessible, case removal is 5
screws, and the water tank platform (which may also need to be removed) has two screws
and a couple of hex screws (puzzling why they decided to use 2 hex screws?). There is little
potential for an inexperienced service engineer to damage the machine when removing the
case, the pump is quite accessible and pump replacement looks straightforward. The water
sensitive control board is mounted in the area least likely to be exposed to water during filling
the tank, or venting, as is the digital temperature controller.
There are no instructions regarding lifting the Expobar Brewtus II from the box and it is a bit
awkward. The best method is to lay the box on its side, slide the machine out in its
polystyrene shells and then flip it upright. It’s heavy and solid, but easily handled by one
person.
In summary; The Expobar Brewtus II is very nice machine for the domestic consumer to use,
easy for the reseller to support and maintain. It should provide years of reliable service with
the minimum of maintenance.
This is a machine that I expected a lot from and it did not disappoint. I can only say to
Expobar, well done you have done a great job on this machine (and I don’t praise these
companies lightly). I think for the competition to displace this machine or attack it’s market
would be extremely difficult. Expobar have the price right, the design right and it works really
well!
I even feel this machine is very good value for money, it’s not a cheap machine and for a
change I do think you are getting what you pay for. This is a subjective statement, but the
Expobar Brewtus II stands out amongst the crowd of prosumer machines.
The machine carries it’s electrical
rating sticker and serial number behind
the drip tray.
The vital statistics for this machine are quite conflicting (and in some cases
inaccurate) when reading various websites and supplied information, my most
accurate view from measurement, rating plate information and internal examination, is
as follows:
Dimensions all approx. (not including steam/water wands) W = 260mm, D =460mm
H=420mm
Heating elements are 1200W one in each boiler (but only one can be on at any one
time)
Each boiler has a capacity of approximately 1.5 litres.
Boilers are copper with brass ends
Weight is approximately 20kg
Pump in the test machine was an Ulka EX5 48W
Group is an E61 type group
